Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

ENCORE: Natural Treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Part 1
September 14, 2023
Dr. Courtney Craig, herself a sufferer of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, first diagnosed at age 16, has made CFS/ME her professional focus. She is author of "All My Test Results Are Normal: A Smart Guide to Testing for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." She discusses her decades-long personal journey towards wellness and improved productivity. What are current theories about the causation of CFS? Why is it often relegated to a “waste basket diagnosis”? Are there objective tests for CFS? Why do some persist in claiming it’s a psychological condition? The controversial role of “graded exercise” for CFS recovery; The possible benefits of a Keto diet or intermittent fasting; Mitochondrial support? Microbiome diversity? Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplements? Low-dose naltrexone (LDN)? Antivirals? Ampligen? Cortene? How have the “Millions Missing Marches” dramatized the plight of CFS sufferers?

Addressing a Universal Concern: Energy & Fatigue, Part 1
April 18, 2023
Cellular health may start declining as early as twenty-five years old, causing fatigue and susceptibility to disease. More people complain to their family doctors about fatigue than any other ailment. John Casey, CEO of Nutritional Therapeutics, does a deep-dive on NTFactor, the only nutritional formula clinically proven to repair damaged cells and improve your body's energy production. NTFactor also aids in the bioavailability of hard-to-absorb nutrients. NTFactor works by repairing and restoring the bilayer membranes throughout the body. It has been the subject of over thirteen clinical trials and more than fifty-five published peer-reviewed papers in both medical and scientific journals. Each showed a statistically significant benefit to the three-hundred-plus participants that were evaluated for decreases in moderate-to-severe fatigue. Click HERE for part 2.

Recovery from Complex Medical Conditions, Part 1
December 6, 2022
Recent studies on dietary membrane lipid replacement supplements like NTFactor® demonstrate their effectiveness in reducing not just age-related loss of function, but also multiple chronic illness symptom severities. Dr. Garth Nicolson, Founder, President, Chief Scientific Officer and Emeritus Research Professor of Molecular Pathology at the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, California, and Research Advisor for Nutritional Therapeutics, makers of NTFactor®, explains how using dietary protected polyunsaturated glycerolphospholipids, such as NTFactor Lipids®, results in the systemic replacement of damaged cellular membrane glycerolphospholipids with undamaged, unoxidized lipids to ensure the proper function of cellular membranes. This may have profound implications for complex and perplexing medical conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chemical Exposure, Mold Exposure, Fibromyalgia, Long Covid, and more.

ENCORE: How to Heal the Complex Patient, Part 1
September 6, 2022
Many people suffer from a bewildering array of symptoms including fatigue, bodily aches and pains, depression and anxiety, sudden weight gain or loss, brain fog, and multiple food and chemical reactions. These are often branded “psychosomatic”. Dr. Neil Nathan presents a detailed roadmap to recovery in his book “Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness.” What is the Cell Danger Response (CDR) and how does it explain why patients get “stuck” in chronic illness? Why is mold toxicity such a pervasive trigger of a myriad of health problems? How can mold-exposed patients be detoxed? What role for tick-borne infections like Lyme and Bartonella in triggering chronic illness? What is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and how can its proper identification facilitate relief from baffling symptoms? Why is it sometimes important to “reboot” a dysregulated autonomic nervous system in chronically ill patients? What supplements and medications aid recovery? Why is it important to go slow with treatments? Dr. Nathan shares resources for clinicians and patients. Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: One of the Worst Treated Conditions in Western Medicine, Part 1
December 3, 2020
Dr. Sarah Myhill is one of Britain’s foremost experts on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or as it’s sometimes referred to there, Myalgic Encephalitis (ME). In her book, “Sustainable Medicine,” she claims that “CFS is one of the worst treated conditions in Western Medicine.” Patients are sometimes told to just exercise, or undergo psychotherapy, to recover. Myhill vociferously disagrees, asserting: “Its mitochondria, not hypochondria!” She dismisses the notorious PACE study, which had become the standard of care for CFS sufferers with “graded exercise,” as scientific fraud. How do you repair the mitochondria and boost their function? Why is the Paleo-Ketogenic Diet central to recovery? What does the ATP profile test tell us about mitochondrial function? Dr. Myhill’s pioneering studies document objective improvements in patients’ cellular energetics, in addition to subjective reports of symptom amelioration. What are the five basic supplements she recommends? Why are support of thyroid and adrenal function critical? What role for sleep? How do infections undermine mitochondrial efficiency? Why is detoxification so important for some CFS sufferers? How do heat treatments and chelation help? Dr. Myhill continues to campaign for the rights of CFS patients to be properly diagnosed and treated in the face of what she terms “systemic medical abuse.” Click HERE for part 2.
